"Hiya Harry!" Collin called. He and his brother had just arrived at Hogwarts.

"What's up with the stick figure?" Dennis said, waving the letter.

"It's me and daddy!" Gaara said, from behind Harry.

"Huh? Who's that?" Collin asked, trying to peek around Harry. Harry chuckled, and moved out of the way.

"This is Gaara, my son," Harry said, as he picked the red-head up.

"I thought you said you didn't like Ginny," Dennis said.

"Adopted, dummy," Harry said.

"Oh."

"You said you were going to explain about Hermione," Collin said.

"Why don't you guys go see Minerva why I drop Gaara off with Severus and I'll meet up with you in a few minutes. Password's 'feline'." Harry said.

"'Feline'? You gotta be kidding me," Dennis said.

"Nope."

"So are you going to explain about Hermione now?" Dennis asked, as they finished unpacking. Harry sighed and sat down on the couch.

"She was arrested for using an Unforgivable," Harry said.

"Yeah. You, told us that in your letter," Collin said, "Which one did she use?"

"The Cruciatus curse."

"On one of the students?" Dennis asked, horrified.

"No, on my son."

"Is he alright?"

"She missed and hit the wall, so he was scared, but that was the most damage he got. Two of the students had gotten there about that time and protected him from her."

"Damn," Collin said, "Who woulda thought Hermione'd be the one arrested for an Unforgivable. The girl who wouldn't talk to you because you were reading about the Dark Arts."

"So when's the trial?" Dennis asked.

"In three days," Harry groaned, "And according to our dear minister, Gaara has to be there."

"He's going to make the poor boy relive the attack?" Collin asked, "Someone ought to fire his sorry ass."

"I'm getting ready to," Harry said.

"We mean make him loose his job, not get shish kabobed," Dennis said.

"Ha, ha. Very funny," Harry said, sarcastically, "Even if I was planning to shish kabob him." Dennis and Collin laughed.

Harry sighed as he walked past all the reporters that were trying to get his attention. Gaara was in his arms, sleeping with his head on Harry's shoulder.

"Mr. Potter! Mr. Potter!"

"Over here!"

"Did Hermione Granger-Weasley really cast an Unforgivable on your son?"

"Which Unforgivable?"

"Who's the mother?"

"When was he born?"

"Was the mother of age?"

'What the hell does that have to do with the trial?' Harry thought

"BACK AWAY FROM THE VOLDEMORT DESTROYER!" Harry heard the Weasley twins yell. The reporters quickly moved out of the way (many of them having trouble hearing) and Harry saw that both twins were carrying foghorns that were no doubt magically edited in some way or another.

"Nice guys! I want one of those for Christmas!" Harry said.

"Me too," Dennis said. Collin groaned.

"You're loud enough as it is Dennis and you never put silencing charms up when you bring girls home." Dennis blushed. Harry and the twins laughed.

"So Harry," George said (or was it Fred?), "Who's the kid?"

"You better not have knocked up Ginny," Fred warned.

"Why is it everyone thinks I had sex with Ginny?" Harry asked, "I haven't touched you're sister in anyway other then friendly hugs. That's it. Gaara is my adopted son." Fred and George started to laugh.

"Aheheheheheh. Bite me," Harry said, sarcastically.

"Don't tempt me," the twins said together.

"Case Number: 31895748. Harry Potter versus Hermione Granger-Weasley. Presiding Judge: Amelia Bones. Jurors: Anthony Goldstein, Cho Chang, Ginerva Malfoy, Millicent Bulstrode, Blaise Zabini, and Ernie Macmillan.."

Hermione glared at Harry and Gaara as she was brought in by the Aurors, in magically bound handcuffs.

"Mrs. Granger-Weasley has been provided a lawyer by the ministry. Mr. Potter, your lawyer is?" Amelia asked.

"Me," Draco Malfoy said.

"You really are a traitorous basta-" Hermione started.

"Mrs. Granger-Weasley! You will hold your tongue in my courtroom!" Amelia interrupted her.

'Great way to pit the judge against you Hermione,' Harry thought.

I just typed in random numbers for the case cause I was bored. I now have a new way to update this story. As soon as I finish one chapter I upload the next chapter for this story; for example: I uploaded this chapter because I finished typing chapter 15. So I know what's comming up and can answer your questions accordingly. (insert maniacal evil laughter here). Smiles.
